I'm sorry, I should have been more specific; the reason I mirrored from
Mandrake-devel/7.2beta/i586/Mandrake/ was because I d/l'd hd.img separately
and didn't feel I needed the other directories (dosutils, etc). I did find
something that I managed to overlook the first time around however; I check
the 'RPMS' folder and the 'base' folder - they seemed fine, but for some
reason the 'mdkinst' folder did not get populated during the mirroring.
When I get home from work tonight, I'm going to start over. Any idea of a
better way to make sure I get all the files I need? (Besides ISO which for
some reason hasn't shown up yet).
Thanks!
Mike
